partly covered by this setting.

Since the default queuing discipline is created with the 59 - no additional parameters so is best suited to queuing disciplines that 60 - work well without configuration like stochastic fair queue (sfq), 61 - CoDel (codel) or fair queue CoDel (fq_codel). Don't use queuing disciplines 62 - like Hierarchical Token Bucket or Deficit Round Robin which require setting 63 - up classes and bandwidths. 57 + overriding the default of pfifo_fast with an alternative.
